My fingers hovered over my computer wanting to refresh and not wanting to refresh at the same time.
Maria, you are kick ass and your presentation will be nothing less.
My personal experience with hospice is that some of the kindest people work in that industry and they do everything possible to ease any pain and make the final days as comfortable as possible.
Go Maria! Woo!
I'm at work, because I still have loose ends to tie up before my surgery on Friday, but I called the surgeon's scheduler to see if they can take me sooner, because I'm in a ton of pain. Like, I don't even know how much is "too much" anymore. So I'm crying at my desk for Ginger, and for myself, because I'm hurting like a mofo. And trying to get shit done, which I'm doing only a fair job of, at best.
Good luck, Maria! We are in your corner.
You too, Sparky. Yikes.
And you, JZ. I hope you have some easy and carefree days before too long.
Kick it in the ass, Maria.
Fingers crossed for good outcomes, Sparky.
I am going to pull up my socks and do things that need done today. I think "pulling up my socks" could become a new way to think about spoons, too.
Oh, Amy, gallbladder pain is not fun. I hope they can take you sooner. Soonest, really. ::gentle hugs::
And Hil.
And oh no, amyth! Come on, surgeon, be available. Or whatever is needed. Or chill out gallbladder. Something. Gah.
Oh no Sparky. Fingers crossed for a good outcome.
And oh no amyth. Pain is no good.
I am going to pull up my socks and do things that need done today.
I am exhausted (I just dozed off in front of the computer for about 20 minutes instead of working) from sadness and being awake at 3 a.m. with a horrible IBS flare that I had to drug into submission. I think I'm going to write "Pull Up Your Socks" on a post-it and stick it on the TV.
I don't know what to say. Virtual hugs for everybody. Please, take care of yourselves.
